Title supplied by cataloger
This letter contains further information about the progress of the English contributions to the Anti-Slavery Fair in Boston. Estlin sends a copy of an address on mesmerism and one or two reports of the eye dispensary he developed in 1812. He approves the protest of slavery by the 170 American Unitarians. Estlin indicates that he has been corresponding with Richard Davis Webb about "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" and that he wants certain paragraphs omitted in the second edition. Estlin reiterates his warning that the internal dissensions among the abolitionists should be concealed from the English, adding that it is difficult to circulate "The Liberator" among people of different sects. He comments at length on Joseph Sturge and John Scoble of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society
